A Heartless scoundreI.

The worst exhibition of moral de-
pravity and heartlessness 1t has been
our misfortune to witness took place
at the Northern Pacific depot Thurs.
day morning. Among the three pris-
oners brought from the Manitoba road
by Louis King, but who were dis.
charged after two or three days in Jail,
for lack Of evidence. was one bearing
the name of Robert Owens. His first
thought after having gotten into the
clutches of the law was to telegraph to
his aged mother, at st. Paul, begging
her to come out here and assist him
out of his scrape. AS before stated the
s against the prisoners was dropped
and therefore the occasion for aid and
comfort from the mother no longer ex.
listed when she arrived In Miles. II
was probably a coincidence that the
train which brought the mother had
been singled out by the son as the one
on which to leave town, but such hap
pened to be the case. Tho old lady
aIighted from the train just as the son
was about TO get aboard and he had as
a travelling companion a negro wench.
Catching sight Of her erring boy the
mother called out TO him, and he,
turning, saw her, and the only recog.
milton vouchsafed by him was a nod
as he disappeared within the car. A
moment later he sent one Of his of.
colored companions TO tell her he had
bought a ticket TO Helena and was go
ing, 30 she better go back to st. Paul
and let him alone rs he was all right.
The poor heart broken mother turned
away I'm despair and to a sympathiz.
ing group related the history of her
journey out here and stated that she
now had no son, and rs she said these
werds the tears ran down her withered
cheeks and she turned away with a
sob TO get aboard the returning train.
This Robert Owens is undoubtedly a
bad lot and will come to no good end.
His objective point was Helena
and 1t should DO but . part Of the pun.

Afterward he filled a similar position

ing the angry murmurs of the Assem-
bled dissenters by jumping on the Ia
BILE and shouting; Three cheers for
the queen" In which he was joined by
those members, not a few, who earnest
ly wished for British rule His, too,
was the hand which first boosted the
union jack In Praetoria, that union
jack afterwards so sadly buried in a
coffin by the few remaining English
men in Praetoria, men whose Dhearts
were broken by that disgraceful con-
vention by which Englishmen have
forever forfeited their nonor i'm South
Africa, and which has made the very
name Of Englishmen n synonymous
term among the Boer for all that is
weak and cowardly. Later on, ms adj
jutant,of regiment of volunteer horse,
he had ample opportunities Of gaining
new experiences. And again as a set
tier in Natal, where he still owns
property, he learned yet more of the
beauties of South Africa, of its capa.
bilities and resources, and of the lido
syncracies of its various races.

neer-HoIding the Railroads

Washington Telegram: Captain
Clinton B. Sears, of the U. s. corps of
engineers in charge of the improve
ment of the upper Missouri and yell
lowstone, says he sees little use inf Inn
proving the upper Missouri, except
that the fact Of a navigable channel to
the heart Of Montana will keep freight
rates low. The Benton transportation
company are going to withdraw their
steamers, having nothing left but a
local business. However. Captain
Sears recommends that $3.50, 900 be ap.
%propriated by Congress for next years
work, $4,000 to be spent between
Carroll to Fort Benton audl$50,O 600 from
Carroll to Sioux City, snagging. No
work was done last season because
the $4,000 appropriated became avail
able too late. Captain Sears finds no
use in the Yellowstone improvements
except as they act as a check on the
railroad rates. There has been no traf.
fic on the aiver since the Northern Pa.
cific railroad reached Glendive, and
no prospect ofany. The SIS, 700 appro-
priated last year will be nearly all con.
sumed in repairing the plant. Still
he recommends $4,000 to complete the
projected improvements.

HIS FACE LIKE A sKYIs.
"Jo-Jo," the Unsolved Mystery.

of all the remarkable human beings
who have been unearthed in late years
'Jo-Jo," the dog-faced boy, who will
be presented here with s. II. Barrett's
tented show, on Tuesday August 18th,
can justly lay claim to the champion.
ship honors. His resemblance to a
skye terrier Is so n~aturalistic that
when one Of the real species looks upon
him the canine becomes instantly pal
sled with fear. The New York sun. in
describing "Jo-Jo," on his arrival in
Gotham, says:
"Jo-Jo's" face resembles a Scotch
terriers. silky, light brown hair
covers his head, and. c%oncealing the
forehead, extends to the eyebrows.
which are long and shaggy and over
hang his eyes like a skye's. Hair
cover his nose, growing thickly from
the cartilages and parted aside like q
heavy moustache growing from the
bridge of the nose. Beginning on the
under eyelids. hair, massed, grows
downward on the cheeks and forms a
shaggy main on either side. His chin
is covered by a heavy, silky beard.
Only the eyes and mouth a be dis.
tinctly made out. The expression Of
the eyes is peculiar, and the more they
were studied the More they seemed to
resemble those Of an intelligent dog.
"He speaks Russian, French and
German. and has picked up some
English. Frequently his voice resem'
bIed that of a dogs growl or bark.
Usually he is as full of play as a pup.
Ply, and when he cannot make himself
understood by words he resorts to
pantomine. He is a ward of the Rus
sian government and is In charge Of
MI. and Mrs. Nicholas Forster.
"Jo-Jo" will be Immediately placed
with the travelling exhibition Of thi.
famous Snowman 8. III. Barrett. The
latter while in Russia last summer,
consumated arrangements with the
Russian Minister o Foreign Affairs for
the engagement Of the boy for a period
Of one year. II is understood that Mr.,
Barrett pays 81, 900 a week for 'Jo-Jo,'
and has given q heavy bond for the
prodigy's safe return at the expiration
of the contract"
"Jo,Jop forms one Of the attractions
of Barret's show proper, and no addi-
tional charge Is made TO see him."

Free Trade.

The reduction Of Internal revenue
and the taking or Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, q O doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
- well % relieving the burden Of
home manufacturers. Especially Ia
this the cos with Green's August
Flower and Boscbee's German Syrup,
o. the reduction Of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added 70 increase he
size Of the bottles containing these
remedies. thereby giving one-hfth
more medicine In the rs cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale Of any
medicines IN the world. The advan-
tage Of increased size Of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, In every town and VIII
lage In civilized countries. Sample
bottles for 10 cents remain the same size.
